How to make the best No-Touch No-Knead bread using a Zyliss Spreader and a Silpat Silicon Baking Mat. Your hands NEVER TOUCH the DOUGH.

This loaf was made using the Jim Lahey / New York Times recipe that started the no-knead craze. The flour measurement in the paper's recipe is given in cups which is imprecise. I weighed the flour by using a tablespoon to scoop flour from the container into a measuring cup and 3 cups were 12.5 ounces versus 14.5 ounces in the batch made by scooping directly with the measuring cup. This results in a hydration percentage of 104%. I gave this loaf 3 stars.
